Why is everyone so toxic on the boards?

So I've been reading a lot of board posts about player behavior lately, and I have begun to see an overwhelming trend. Any player who posts their chat logs, or creates a post to figure out why they were punished, no matter how good or bad, gets severely downvoted. I see people who post their chat logs that are borderline not toxic whatsoever and they get downvoted to hell for wondering what they did wrong. What's the point of this? Why are people in this community doing this? They are just wondering what they did wrong or why they got banned. This is a bad look for people coming in from different games. Most games won't punish you whatsoever for things that you can get permanently banned for on League of Legends, so is it that hard to understand why people would be confused as to why they got perma-banned for their actions?

They are just wondering what they did wrong or why they got banned.

No, this is 100% false in most cases. They know what they did wrong, refuse to accept responsibility for their own actions, blame other players who "started it," and insult people who reply.

Because basically all of the people who do this come from a perspective of innocence despite their words/chat logs, which, if they do get permabanned, HAS to be actually toxic. If someone posts a chat log that doesn't seem toxic, they've deleted parts of it for sure (and some even get called out by chat moderators for doing so). Thus, the person who does this makes themselves look either delusional or tryna downplay the severity of their own toxicity to try get an easy pass back in the game after being permabanned (or, in the case of deleting toxic parts of their chat logs [or straight up making them up] is either seeing themselves as smarter than the system by trying to cheat it or again, delusional). Furthermore, all of the clarity revolving around toxicity, punishments and most importantly, permabans are more than extensively clarified on online sources, meaning that people who do this ALSO show their own lack of effort in clarifying their own issue.

Are you reading the threads? Or just the OP and moving on? A lot of times its the replies from the original poster that ends up getting em downvoted. Or the rhetoric they use.

If they get permabanned for a chat, they would have gone through multiple warnings already.

If they are genuine in seeking help and understanding, people will generally be nice to them. But if they come here insulting the system, the game, the company, or the community (which is what 95% of the posts are doing) without trying to take responsibility. That's when they will recieve massive push backs.

I'm not sure what posts you are looking at. The vast majority of posts make a claim with out providing chat logs or any other citation. Then there's the "people are to soft" threads. The "but they were worse than I"

The reason many posts get downvoted is that it's the same non sense over and over again.
